[pnpgm] Game Update #7 - File #87 - Party leaves toward ship

[Murtha, Mark D (N-Resources)]

[Ha'Kell's response to both of these posts, attempting to combine them somehow]

Ha'Kell responds to Unali, whilst thinking back to Strie'bog's comments at the end of the meeting with Ki'ama, "Katai is a very large land.  Perhaps working together we can narrow the search for Strie'bog?  I still think it likely the Vong have at least one place to grow their weapons in Katai, unless they only bring their weapons with them.  I have travelled to Katai twice for trading, so my experience and knowledge is limited.  As is my command of the lanuage."  All of this is in Katai, but not the best and fairly accented.

"I wonder if it is only lakes they require, or if they can grow their abominations with other kinds of sacred, ancient and magical locations?  Knowing so little about the Vong puts us at a disadvantage."

"Friend Kiet, you've been in Katai as well.  Do you know of any other magical locations that may fit what little we know of the Vong and their needs to grow their, er, equipment?"

Ha'Kell then waits, and appears deep in thought.  Some point forming in his head.  He listens and responds to the conversation, but will return to this potential idea.

(I apologize for the delay, but work kicked my butt recently).

Strie'bog seems distant, lost in thought toward the end of the discussions with the High Elder, and during introductions.

As people begin to leave, Strie'bog will approach Z'leyra.

"While I wish to spend time learning the Katai language, there is something I can do that may help in our search.  As I mentioned to the high elder, I can commune with gods regarding places, especially lakes, which carry ancient power.  You may remember when I did this before, and the long periods of deep trance I entered to gain information.  On the boat, I will attempt this, but I will need your help to safeguard my body during this time, and help to keep me alive if the trance lasts too long.  Would you be willing to do this?"

Strie'bog will make sure that he has a map of the Katai lands, and that evening, he will ask people to help him translate names, and then he will spend the rest of the night studying the map, trying to commit as much of it as possible to memory.  As Strie'bog has little in the ways of material possessions, he has little to pack or ready.
